Cocaine worth an estimated £10,000 has been seized from a van travelling into Cardiff.

The blue Ford Transit was stopped by officers near junction 28 of the M4 on Wednesday, November 27.

Two men and a woman were arrested and officers seized around a quarter of a kilo of cocaine.

They are due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday, December 9.

Gareth Baird, 46, from Tremorfa, Cardiff, Raymond Lawrance, 28, from Luton, and Katherine Thomas, 40, from Tremorfa, Cardiff, have all been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Detective Inspector Paul Latham said: “Very often drugs are trafficked from others part of the country into South Wales. “Because of the tactics we employ residents may not even notice us working in an area but we are out there protecting the public, taking drugs off the streets and targeting organised crime.”
